Thursday Evening

Allison

Allison quietly made her way toward the box, breathing a sigh of relief as she realized the lock was still on it. She turned to Gary. “Do you have the key?”

He shook his head and turned toward the right. “No Ms. Kirse, I do. Can I convince you to leave your robe in there until tomorrow?”

Allison turned toward Ms. Frauhold. “If I had worn normal clothing today, maybe. I intend to use my bathrobe tomorrow morning though.”

“Very well. I’ll unlock your box for you.” She turned to Gary. “Where is your partner and Mr. Lopez?”

“Ted is escorting Mr. Lopez to the practice field first, and then he will come to claim Mr. Lopez’s robe and bring it to the field afterward.”

She paused. “I hope he’s smart enough to wait until he leaves school grounds to put it on.”

“Manny knows the rules as well as the rest of us Ms. Frauhold. I’m sure he wouldn’t be stupid enough to try to circumvent them...” she paused, “especially with only one day left to our week.” Have you met with any obstructions on your way to practice Manny?

Not yet, and we’re most of the way there. Is Ms. Frauhold out by our boxes?

Yes, and she tried to convince me to leave my robe in the box until tomorrow.

Ms. Frauhold quietly opened both of their boxes. Tried huh? What were your objections?

Allison reached into the open box and grabbed her robe. Good ... it looks Ms. Frauhold is impatient to leave. She silently put it on and tied it closed. Truth be told, having the robe on again feels a little weird.

You could always just not wear it home.

I think I’ll do just that. Allison smiled, took the robe off, put her bag back on, and began to walk toward the waiting bus. I think I just saw Ms. Frauhold smile a little.

Such smiles can only improve our chances of winning those awards.

Allison smiled. Very true. Oh, don’t forget to pack a few days worth of clothing tonight.

To bring with me tomorrow, right? I’ll make sure to add that to my Kempo bag. Don’t forget yours tomorrow either.

Allison quietly stepped on the bus. The driver looked at her, shook his head, then looked again. “I thought you’d be dressed Ms. Kirse. What happened to the girl who was so afraid of nudity on Tuesday?”

She smiled and sat down in the front. “She’s gone, hopefully for good.” I may need a reminder tonight. Could you give me one later?

Sure. I need to go and focus on the new players for now though.

Okay.

“Oh? I know the Program is supposed to change people, so I guess it actually works.”

Allison sat down in one of the front seats. “Only if the people around you are supportive. Otherwise I can see a lot of potential for harm in it.”

The driver closed the doors and began to drive. “That statement is true of any institution or program in life.”

“You have a good point.” I guess wisdom can be found anywhere... she paused even from the most unexpected sources.

None of them compare to Tony’s level of talent, but with time and practice they should turn out decent. He paused. Correction, they need a lot of practice.

Didn’t you when you started?

Yeah, but it feels like a few of them lack the discipline to really put in the effort. Hopefully Coach can teach them it.

He’s taught the rest of the team, right?

Yeah... he paused again. It’s just ... I have a bad feeling about three of them.

Are your bad feelings usually right?

Unfortunately, yes. Thankfully, they don’t happen often.

Then hopefully this is one of those times where it’s wrong. Anyway, I’m just about home.

The bus pulled up in front of her house. “Would you like me to wait for a moment so you can get dressed Ms. Kirse? Just in case your folks are easily shocked by this sort of thing.”

She smiled and shook her head. “I want to see how my mom responds.” That, and I don’t feel like putting on any clothing until tomorrow.

“If that’s what you want, who am I to stop you.” Allison stood as the doors swung open. “Have a good day Ms. Kirse.”

She nodded, grabbed her bag and robe, and smiled as she left the bus. “You too.”

Really precious? That’s quite brave of you.

Allison hopped toward the door. Not really. The only person I’m not completely comfortable seeing me naked is Dad, and but he won’t be home for another hour, so I have time to change my mind if I want to.

Sounds like you thought this through. Have fun.

I intend to. Get home safe once practice is over. Allison reached for the door knob and began to turn it. “Mom, I’m home!” She opened the door and stepped into the kitchen.

“Good. Your father is going to be a little late getting home from work, so dinner is going to be later than usual” her mom said as she cut up carrots.

“That’s okay. I can wait a little longer.”

“How was your...” her mom turned around “day?” Allison smiled at the surprised look on her face. “Do you realize you’re still naked?”

“I guess I’m getting used to nudity. It feels pretty good.”

“So the Program is actually doing what it’s supposed to?”

Allison half shook her head, put her things down on a seat, and sat down at the table. “Kinda. Today was good, and I wouldn’t have met Manny if either of us wasn’t in it this week, but that isn’t the whole picture. Without Manny’s support, and the support of my new friends, I would have broken down days ago.”

Her mom smiled. “We really owe him a lot, don’t we? I never expected you to be this outgoing again.”

Allison blinked in surprise. “You mean this isn’t a recent development?”

“Prior to the incident, you were one of the most outgoing little girls I’ve ever seen.”

“Is that what they’re calling it these days? I’d call it starting an orgy.”

Allison turned her head around and glared at Sarah. “Sarah!”

“Orgy? When did this happen?”

Allison spun back to her mom. “She’s exaggerating. It wasn’t an orgy.”

“Then what actually happened?”

Allison smiled sheepishly. “I just wanted to see if I could make Manny faint from an orgasm.”

“And?”

“I succeeded, if only for a moment.”

“So why is your sister convinced it was an orgy?”

Allison smiled. “Because I had some help. Four pairs of hands worth.”

“Is that why the Program Rep wanted to talk to you?”

Her mom’s face dropped. “What did you do?”

She rolled her eyes. “Nothing wrong. She wanted to discuss a few Program related things. Some of it was meant for all of us participating this week...”

“Some?” her mom interrupted.

“Well, the school wants to nominate Manny and I for a handful of Program related awards. Some of the rewards are substantial, and she provided us with release forms that she claims will help our chances of winning.”

“You sound like you’re uncertain about signing them. Why?”

Allison opened the bag and pulled out the form. “I don’t understand the legalize it’s written in. You were pre-law, right Mom? Maybe you can translate it for me.”

She shook her head. “I was pre-law for all of a year. It was too cutthroat for me though, so I never went very far in that program.”

“But, didn’t you and Dad meet during that year?”

“That’s true, but Columbia also had a very strong IT program. So I was able to switch and pursue my tech degree and still stay close to your father. My programming business also payed the bills during your father’s internship.”

“But didn’t you quit that field when Allison was born?”

Her mom shook her head again. “The full-time office job? Yes. But I was able to keep my own private practice even while you were both infants. Resources did get a bit tight for a couple of years, but by the time I needed to really cut down on jobs, your father had already begun to work full time.”

“Really?” her sister asked.

Allison turned to her sister. “What’s really funny about that is where Dad’s the company lawyer...” she paused “the very firm Mom first worked at.”

Her mom laughed. “It’s a good thing too. His hours have been a lot more stable because of it. The biggest case he’s ever had to deal with dealt with a patent dispute.”

“So, I’m better off showing the form to him then?”

“Yes. He probably deals with at least a dozen release forms a month. He could tell you for sure if there’s anything fishy in that one. Until he gets home though, there is one thing we should talk about.”

Sarah scratched her head in confusion. “My final guest list, right?”

“That’s part of it. Your father was more resistant than I thought he’d be to the idea of Emanuel sleeping over tomorrow. I just managed to convince him it’s a good idea.”

Allison glanced at the look of discomfort on Sarah’s face, nodded in agreement, and turned back to her mom. “I don’t want to know how you did it, but thank you mom.”

Her mom sighed, then chuckle softly. “At least I got a little gratitude. Anyway, if you two decide tomorrow night is the right time, don’t let us disturb you too much.”

“Mom!” Allison shouted in unison with her sister. “We really didn’t need to know that.”

“Think about this for a moment – what’s worse – knowing about it in advance so you can try to drown out the noise; or us catching you both by surprise?”

Allison paused for a moment. “Mom has a point. At least this way you can make sure you have fresh batteries.”

“Not you too sis ... how did you know about that?”

Allison smiled. “Just because I was prude until this week doesn’t mean I don’t know what a vibrator sounds like. And you’re not exactly quiet either. Anyway...” she paused, turning back to her mom “I know who I’d like to invite on Saturday.”

“Aside from Emanuel, how many other people are on this list?”

“Just four. Laura, Cosette, Tony...”

“And George?” her mom interrupted.

Allison shook her head. “No ... not this year. He’s been a little too over protective and jealous this week. And Emily’s out too. The last person is Kara.”

“The little brat from down the street? I’m surprised you want to invite her. Oh, and who is this Cosette?”

“Kara apologized for her bratty behavior yesterday, and she’s proven to be a truer friend than Emily ever was...” she paused. “As for Cosette, she’s kind of a little sister figure, and she and Tony may become a couple soon.”

“A little sister in what sense? The upperclassman helping a younger student sense?”

Allison nodded her head. “That’s precisely it.”

Her mom thought for a second. “That’s fine then. What details will they need?”

“Time, place, and any special requirements.”

She smiled. “I have two places in mind. One will allow almost any dress code, while the other will require more bravery on your part.”

“Bravery?”

“Yes. I know that your nudity doesn’t need to be restricted to school and home. And, while nine people is affordable at the diner, the same party only fits the budget at the Friendly’s if their nudity discount comes into play.”

“How exactly does the discount work? Is it one of those blanket deals?”

“No, they take five percent off the bill for each topless girl, and ten percent for each fully naked person under thirty. Even getting the bill cut by twenty-five percent would be enough to make it a viable option.”

“Well, seeing how Laura volunteered for the Program this week, Tony’s been naked in solidarity for us, and both Kara and Cosette spent some time topless today ... I can see a fifty percent discount happening. Is there a limit on how high the discount can go?”

“I don’t believe so. I think businesses with policies like that get significant tax breaks from the government. Anyway, that much of a discount would definitely make it affordable.”

Allison smiled. “Then I feel brave enough to go there. Do we need to arrive naked, or can we strip upon getting into the restaurant?”

“I think you need to enter naked. You could always wear your robe over like you did this morning.”

“What time should I tell people?”

“Let’s say six.”

“Okay.” Manny, do you mind if I bring up the possibility of you staying here while I’m talking to Mom?

I’d rather bring that up tomorrow.

Okay.

“I’m guessing there’s one more thing to discuss tomorrow, isn’t there?”

“Yeah ... I promised Manny I’d let him lead that conversation off though.”

She looked up at the clock. “I should start dinner, and you both have homework to do.” She turned back toward Allison. “Oh, and I’ll send your father up to your room when he gets home.”

“To look at the form, right?”

“Right.”

Allison smiled, stood up, and grabbed her things. “Should I get dressed before dad gets home?”

“I’m sure he’ll be uncomfortable with your nudity, but he’ll need to get used to it for Saturday. So, only get dressed if you want to. Anyway, go! I need to prepare your father’s favorite meal if Saturday is to work at all.”

Allison nodded her head and quickly made her way up to her room. Is Tony helping oversee the practice too?

Emanuel

Emanuel sighed and turned to Tony. “We’re we this bad when we started?”

“I was, but I’ve never seen worse discipline in my life. It’ll take a miracle to get these guys anywhere near decent. If only those two idiots hadn’t been so stupid.”

“How is the injury anyway?”

“Still hurts like crazy. The itchiness of the bandages don’t help either.”

Emanuel turned to one of the players. “What did I say about that shortcut?!”

“That it’ll only hurt me and the team?” The player responded sarcastically.

“Right. Do I need to disturb Coach now?”

Emanuel felt a hand rest on his shoulder. “I thought this was a job I could leave you two with. Clearly I underestimated the stubbornness of those idiots.” He pointed at a few of the players. “You three, fifteen laps around the field ... NOW!”

Emanuel turned to face the coach. “I’m sorry Coach. I...”

“You were doing fine Emanuel. It’s not your fault they have the self-discipline of sock puppets. In fact, you two can hit the showers and go home for today.”

“Yes sir.” Tony walked toward the locker room. He grabbed the nearby robe and started after him.

“I kind of pity those three. I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of what Coach has in mind for them.”

“Neither would I Tony. Do you need help with the bandages before getting in the showers?”

“No thanks. I barely did enough to need one, and Cosette’s waiting to help me with that anyway.”

Emanuel shook his head. “You let her wait for you?”

He chuckled. “Even if I had said no, she’s be waiting anyway. She promised she had homework to keep her busy, so I didn’t really press the matter.”

“It sounds like she’s quite smitten with you.” Ally precious, apparently Cosette stayed behind to help Tony. Would you like me to let her know about the party too?

“Hi handsome” Cosette said shyly as they approached her. “I didn’t realize the Sex God would be with you.”

“Well, there’s not much we can practice this early in the season. Were you waiting long Cosette?”

She blushed. “No. Since Allison’s my big sis now, does that make you my big brother?”

“Only if you want it to.” A huge smile appeared on her face. “I’m guessing that’s a yes.”

She ran forward and throw her arms around him. I think I’ve gotten a little sister.

“Uhm, big brother, do Program rules still count right now? I want to play a little, but I want to upset big sis.”

Emanuel smiled. “I’m still on school grounds for a school activity, so yes. And don’t worry about Allison...” he paused “she’s assured me she’s okay with you playing a little.”

“Really?”

“Did you just check with her using your gift?” Tony asked.

Emanuel nodded. Cosette looked at him with confusion. “Yeah. Cosette, I’ll explain what Tony meant in just a moment. First, I have something Allison wants you both to know.”

Cosette broke the hug and began to untie Tony’s bandages. “What is it big brother?”

“Saturday is Allison’s birthday, and both of you are invited to the party. It’ll be held at the Friendly’s at 6pm.”

“Didn’t they adopt a new policy concerning public nudity?” Tony asked.

Emanuel nodded. “Precisely. Allison and I will be naked for it. If you two are willing to join us in nudity, it will mean a forty percent discount instead of a twenty percent one.”

“Count me in man. Are you willing to join me Cosette?”

She looked down at her pants. “Can I only be topless?”

He nodded. “That will mean a thirty-five percent discount instead, but sure. However, consider one thing – the higher we bring the discount, the more likely we can all get ice cream as well.”

“Nudity for ice cream?” he heard her pause “okay.”

Two more naked people for the party.

Mom will be happy to hear that.

“Do we need to bring a gift? I don’t know big sis very well yet, so if we do I’ll need help choosing one.”

“I don’t believe so. To be honest, I’m not sure what to get her myself.”

The final piece of bandage came off Tony. “Don’t worry about that Tesa. I have an idea that can come from both of us.”

Cosette seemed to melt, then turned to Tony. “Would this idea have anything to do with the books you lent us? If so, such a gift should probably wait until after we eat.”

“Yeah. Have you had a chance to look at the books yet? If not, my idea might now work so well.”

“Not really. Just what is this idea?”

Tony nodded at Cosette, who quickly took off her pants and panties. “It’s a toy bag starter kit. Nothing too crazy, just some silk rope, a soft blindfold, and a few other mild things. I promise, nothing scary or advanced.”

“That should be okay. If we don’t want to use something in the kit, do we have to?”

“Not at all. Ignore any items you don’t want to use. Out of curiosity, are Allison’s nipples particularly sensitive?”
